Who We Are
Studio Magic Hour, run by principal design strategist Lucy Flores, is a space for cross-disciplinary collaboration. We have deep relationships within both food system networks and design communities, and convene teams to meet each project’s unique scope and needs. For customized design engagements, collaborators may include stakeholders and community members with lived experience, organizations and other institutions that intersect with the project area, and other food system and design practitioners.
